This applies to owners also. No person shall operate an auto vehicle while under the influence of intoxicating ilquors or drugs. No motor vehicle or motorcycle shall be oper ated on the public street or highway at a greater speed than 30 miles an hour. Even when this speed is not reasonable and safe, it shall be re duced so as not to endanger life, limb or prop erty. Approaching bridges, crossings, sharp curves, dugways, or a steep descent motor vehicles must be slowed down to not over 10 miles an hour and must at all times be under perfect con trol of the driver. Drivers must slow down when approaching or passing any person, walking on a street or highway, or any horse or other draft animal be ing led, or driven thereon; or upon any bridge or crossing’at an intersection of public streets or highways, the operator of a motor vehicle or motorcycle shall have the same under imme diate control. There are many other sections of this law, which is a portion of the Acts of 1916 and can be found at the office of any attorney, Justice of the Peace or county officer. We have only quoted the sections most frequently and flag rantly violated, but would recommend every owner or driver of a motor vehicle of motorcy cle to read the law and save trouble for himself or herself, and others. These laws are violated every day, many times over, in Tifton and Tift county and probably ev ery other county and community in the state, It is their violation that leads to accident and jften causes loss of life. In many cases inno cent parties are the victims of the heedlessness or recklessness of speed fiends. To enforce the law and prosecute reckless drivers is not only a protection to the public against them, but it is a protection to them against themselves. Tifton should have a traffic officer provided with a .motorcycle and in plain clothes, who should have nothing to do for a few weeks but to apprehend and prosecute violators of the traffic laws. And we do not want such an officer for the sole purpose of apprehending the occasion al joyrider who comes in from the country and who at the worst i3 only an occasional visitor. We have well known and constant offenders right here in town who should be made the first and most conspicious examples. We understand that Fitzgerald has such a traffic officer and that the first month he was at work the fines in speed cases not only paid the officer’s salary but left a handsome sum in the city treasury Tifton should try the experiment. In the cases enumerated above we mention on ly the state laws. The city ha3 very stringent traffic laws which, like those of the state, have only to be enforced to protect lives and property. It is the protection of the innocent that we are anxious for; the guilty will sooner or later pun ish themselves. The only trouble is that before they do this, they are liable to injure others. The state automobile law requires the Secre tary of State to call the attention of the sheriffs in the several counties to the provisions of the law at least once in each month and the sher iffs are required to make investigations as to violations of the law and swear out warrants against and prosecute all owners or other guilty parties.

Holy days are good, but human beings are so constituted that they need an! occasional holiday. Varner and Sbelnutt were shipping cantaloupes last week—'the first that have gone from this point. The stores of Ty Ty, almost without exception, were closed on the Fourth. The Drug stores were open necesaarily. Those who were sighing for "season able weather," during our recent spell of autumn, got it the beginning of the week.

READING ADVERTISEMENTS HAS HELPED TO MAKE THIS A UNITED COUNTRY. Jim Hawkins props his feet on the rose fes tooned porch railing in an Oregon suburb and reads tne same motor car advertisement that Cousin Peter is studying as he rides home from work in the New York subway. In Arizona you can buy the same tooth paste and tobacco that are used by the folks in Maine. California fruit growers advertise their oran ges to the people of the East. New Hamp shire factories make ice cream freezers for Tex as households. There can be no division in a country so bound together by taste, habit and custom. Y<Ju can meet up with anybody in the Unit ed States and quickly get on a conversational footing because you both read the same adver tisements. Advertising is the daily guide to what’s good to buy. Advertisements give you the latest news from the front line of business progress. Reading advertisements enables you to get more for your money because they tell you where, what and when to buy. And it is a well-known fact that advertised godda are more reliable and better value than th e unadvertised kind. •: France. Thrjr aald ora, then,' amon, our part of the A. E.

We must continue to put America at the service of mankind,” Bresident Wilson said in s speech he made aboard the George Washington, as they crossed the Atlantic.

The Tift County Sunday School conven tion , held iu Ty Ty Saturday and Sunday, waft pronounced the mbit 'satisfactory ever held since the organization came into being. The attendance was not especially good, but eight schools were represented and there was quite a number of visitors, but they will want to know, "what mean ye by these doleful doings?" Itan’t wipe the Fourth of July off the list of our none too numerous holidays. "THIS POOR MAN'S MKIJICINK" The Correspondent's attention Hat been called to an editorial which appear ed, under the above title, in the Atlanta Constitution of recent date, and a request was made for its reproduction in the Gaaette. It was forwarded to the editor, who, of course, will exercise his own judgment in the matter. The article in question is a protest against a proposed law which would compel manufacturers to print a complete formula of their medicine on the label of the bottle con taining it. Now, to the average lay mind this does not seem so dreadful, if the medicines are all they claim to be: it does seem that people have a right to know what they are taking, and nobody is likely to the formula to their own advantage, could be learned by analysis, if another manufacturer really cared to know, and besides the patent would still be pro tected by law. Oleomargarine is a harm less product (which is more than can be Mid of many patent medicines), but it should not be labeled butter. Acquaint ing people with the ingredients of which it is composed lessens its sales, of course, but there is no reason why they should not eat it, if they care to. There is con siderable truth in the Constitution’s editorial. Some of the patent medicines are excellent; they have been pronouned so by more than one generation. Not not only are they efficacious, but they are cheap, and especially are they val uable in that they are (or can be) al ways on hand—no waiting to send for a doctor in urgent cases, and having the! Hardly a day passes pgtjent die before he can get there. And no paying for a visit and prescription in simple cnsoB. But why should s medi cine lose its virtue by having its formula known and why should a patient de cline to take it if he knew of what it is compounded? The probability is that he would not know their names. The Constitution puts down the user* of patent medicines as 75 per cent of all who use medicines. Not many as that, but more than enough.

Woodward’s Garage is doing a rushing business these days. It is the automobile season, and automobiles have a way of breaking down. It is very distressing— to the owner, and passengers. E. W. Oliver, of the Ty Ty .Drug Com pany, bought a three-hundred acre farm in Colquitt county last week. Everybody's doing it. And isn’t it the most sensible thing anybody could do? The protracted meeting at Zion Hill conflicted with the Sunday School con- ention Saturday and Sunday. It is not were good, the dinner was good, and the interest was lively. Sunday school ciations are a great help to Sunday schools, and Sunday schools are the life of the church. South Georgia has, in the Worth County Sunday School Associa tion, one of the oldest organizations in the country. A government expert once said that there had never been a half crop of cot ton In this part of the country, and present indications are that this year will be no exception to the general rale. The government reports a prospect for nearly three-fourths of a crop, and farmers arc beginning to boast of their cotton. A man on the street* of Ty Ty Monday was offering to bet ten dollars that his cotton would average thirty bolls to the stalk, right now, and others reported crops almost ns good.

The return to 2-cent postage may not have been a good move on the part of the government, but it certainly pleased the people. One would have thought the saving of that penny waa the most im portant thing that had happened in many a day.

What has become of that moving picture place that was talked about for Ty Ty? True, there are things that Ty Ty needs worse than that, but that might be a good investment. The melon crop was short and the melon* not large, but there was good money in it, and shippers are not com plaining. There are stories of big profits made by local speculators—for instance, this one; Mr. Russel Patrick, of this county, gave $1,000 for • ten-acre field of watermelons. At last accounts, had •old $2,200 worth of melons from that field, and was still selling at $400 a car. Fuel was scarce and high in Ty Ty last winter—even wood being hard tc get, and coal literally "out of sight" most of the time. A shortage of coal has al ready been reported for next winter by the coal markets (why there should be a shortage, nobody seems to know), and those of Ty Ty households that use coal are showing their wisdom by laying in a supply now, ordering by the carload. THE POUR MAN'S MEDICINE From the Atlanta Constitution. It would be unfortunate were any legis lation enacted in Georgia which would make it more difficult or more expensive for persons in straitened or moderate circumstances to secure the fcedicine* or household drugs of which they are of ten in great and sometimes, pressing need. It has been noised about that serious attempt will be made at the present session of the legislature to re quire manufacturers of patent and pro prietary medicines to print the complete formula on the label, in default of which a person desiring to purchase such i medicine will have to secure a physidan’i prescription tor the particular article he desires. The injustice of such a method of deal ing with this problem is apparent on the face of it. There is a vast difference between the process of separating the sheep from the goats, and adopting i method whereby the sheep may be drown ed first and the goats, perhaps, permitted to escape. Possibly 75 per cent of the people de pend more or less upon patent and proprietary medicines, some of which their fathers and mothers, and even their grandfathers, have used before them They have accomplished much good. The manufacturer possesses and own* a certain property and proprietary right in his' formula. If his proposition is a fake he should be obliterated: if it hm merit—and in a vast number of instances there is merit in them—he is entitled to the same protection of property as is the owner of real estate or a bank account. The druggists over the state—and there are hundreds of them—sell these medicines to consumers who buy them because they believe they are good, and who feel they arc benefited by thm.
